On My Block Lyrics - Go-betweens

Alright 

Come on 

No, no, no, no 

The main gate to the mansion is locked 

It's on my street and it's on my block 

I went in but I got chased off 

The store-keeper said, Why don't the cars stop? 

But the mansion's 

Well, it's not the attraction it once was 

And it's on my, on my, my 

On my block 

On my block 

Girl, I've been called names times before 

It happens 'cause it happens here 

And nobody said, they'd ever hear 

The garden is unkept and in bloom 

There is wilderness and flowers in my room 

The caretakers kept 

Needs to be fired soon 

On my block 

On my block 

Girl, I've been called names times before 

It happens 'cause it happens here 

And nobody said, they'd ever hear 

The main gate to the mansion is locked 

I'm standing on the spot 

And it's on my, oh my, my 

On my block 

On my block 

Girl, I've been called names times before 

It happens 'cause it happens here 

And nobody said, they'd ever hear 

Girl, I've been called names times before 

It happens 'cause it happens here 

And nobody said, they'd ever hear 

Girl, I've been called names times before 

It happens 'cause it happens here 

And nobody said, they'd ever hear 

Girl, I've been called names times before 

It happens 'cause it happens here
